Just updating you all on some well requested changes to Factions. From the threads we've been seeing and results from the "Do you like the Factions death ban?" (76 yes, 231 no) the adjustments are as follows:

As per requested by @AllyCantSpell and other players here, we decided to add more cosmetic tags to our store. We think the addition of these are a great idea and plan to continue adding more in the future. What do you all think about making these and future ones to be only offered for a limited time and amount?

And as per requested by what seems like every person on the server, we've also added the ability for you to pick a custom color out for your tags. These work just like name and message colors, you pick a color and your tag is that color. You may pick a different color or reset it back to default at any time.

As you may know, we have been hard at work since our planned maintenance on February 6th. This downtime was to implement a new backend system that allows us to easily develop and new features on PsykoCraft. Since then, we have been patching bugs and making needed tweaks. This backend update did have some important changes for the players, which are listed below.

Features:

Poll system that shows on login

The additions of polls is huge! It allows us to know what you, the players, want. At the time of posting this there are polls live on: Factions, Creative, and the lobby. Make sure you vote on them as the feedback helps us improve the server.

​

Cosmetic tags, name color, and chat color save cross server

Gender is global now, not limited to only Creative

Shown on all servers when you hover over a player's name. You can set your gender with /gender.

​

New friend system aka /friends

The new system is a much easier to use with its interface. This also introduced a well requested feature...

​

Player Blocking aka /ignore

We've heard your requests! You may now use /ignore to hide a player's chat from your screen.

Preferences aka /pref

These allow you to adjust your experience exactly how you like it. The update added the current settings that can be turned on and off:

We will be performing backend maintenance on the PsykoCraft Minecraft servers today (2/6/2017). Because of this, the servers will be offline from 7:00 PM EST to around 10:00PM EST at the soonest. We are migrating to a new backend system, so it will take some time.

This change is mainly important to the people behind the scenes at PsykoCraft, but you will also see many benefits from the update.

With the new system, so comes the following:

/ignore

preference toggles (PM toggle/invite toggles/etc)

command cooldowns

in-game polls

global gender system

new party system

new friend system

less lag and bugs

And down the road it will allow for more features, better customization, and better work flow.

The server is available to be played once again. We will continue to work tomorrow to resolve some minor bugs and to touch up on some of the new systems. I'll make a shiny post about all the new stuff after I get some sleep.

Update: The server is now open again, however, only Survival Games, Build Off, Creative, and Skywars are online as of right now. We are having to fix issues that occurred earlier with Factions and Skyblock.

As for name color/tags/etc. they will be back with the next reboot.

As for when the reboot will be, we are not sure. But it will be as soon as possible.

We know most of you are eager to play on CandyCraft Prison, but I thought we would release a little well-known minigame while we diligently work on Prison.

On the gamemode, you join an arena and are given a subject to build. Based on the quality, detail, and even humor of your build, players will vote on it. If you have the most total points at the end of the voting, you win!

Easy enough; improve your building skills while having fun with friends.

​

Huge thanks to @impqtience for allowing us to use the Hotel he build on his Crazy Creative plot! We were able to use it as the spawn and it looks awesome. Make sure to check it out in-game!

Due to a select handful of players, we need to talk about PsykoCraft's tolerance against players who are toxic. I am referring to players who try to cause trouble however and wherever they can. This includes disrespecting players and staff, causing arguments in chat, flame, etc.

From now on, if staff run into players who are acting like this or intentionally "playing" our rules to get around them, we will have no tolerance. You will receive a very clear warning from a higher up (Admin or Manager) in-game or on the forums stating what we are seeing from you and that it has to stop. We are not going to argue with you; we are only going to provide this as a final warning that you will be permanently banned off PsykoCraft if it continues.

We want PsykoCraft to be a positive and accepting community for all players of all backgrounds and age. These players do not represent what the PsykoCraft community should be.
Hope you understand,

We've heard your need for some updates! We're starting off with some factions fixes and additions.

Auction House
By using /auctionhouse, or /ah for short, you open a inventory where you may put your items up for sale for others to buy. This is the same feature that we have on Skyblock so most of you should be familiar with it.

This should allow you all to begin trading with each other more easily to obtain items that aren't in the server shop.

Spawner Fixes + Additions
We have fixed the bug where buying spawners from the shop would just give you a pig spawner. All future purchases will now work correctly. Sorry about that!

The updated signs are located below your /spawn in the shop area.

Along with that, spawners may now be mined with a Silk Touch I enchanted pickaxe. Failure to do so will cause the spawner to break and vanish.

Explodable Obsidian
You may have to reinforce you base with this one!

Here are the specifics:

All obsidian can be destroyed with 5 direct TNT hits.

Obsidian that is under water takes 10 direct hits.

Damaged obsidian regenerates once per every 10 minutes.

You can check damaged obsidian by right clicking it with a stick.

You can't hang around in your obsidian boxes forever!

Dedicated PvP Warp
A few members were asking for a specific location to fight each other at. Because of this, we've implemented a warp that can be accessed with the "/warp pvp" command.

At the current moment, the warp is just at one of the platform locations in the center of the map. Perhaps we will have to make an actual arena if the fights keep up.

We're looking to feature some of the most creative, unique, and detailed plots to feature up close to spawn on Crazy Creative. This is a great opportunity to get a front-and-center plot for everyone to see your build who gets on the server!
